storm - also crossing fingers! My FIL died on 15th Feb 2010 and his birthday was the 27th Feb (I think), and I was really hoping that LO wouldn't come then, but he was 'early' with the pre-eclampsia so gets 3rd Feb all to himself (was due end of Feb/early March and OH's bday is 23rd Feb and BIL is 2nd March), so holding onto the traditional of Feb/March boys?.
growl - MIL lost her original engagement ring (she bought a huge one a few years ago, which I don't like) and the pretty flower design (very 1960s) one was to go to me, but either it was stolen (likely) as she kept in a jar near the kitchen sink and anybody could have taken it (the other ring 'goes' to my SIL), but it's the sentiment, not the money as it would be a ring to give to LO's future wife (storm's L?), etc), it's just sad that after having the ring for 50+ years, it's gone.....sigh. Oh, we didn't go see MIL today - the weather forecast was for rain, storms, winds so we cancelled and.....and the day was sunny but cold!
um....?
bye - off to bed....!
ps. I've been to Australia (does that count?) (Perth and took the train to Adelaide and then drove to Melbourne (honeymoon) and once to Brisbane....!
